as it included one case filed two years before president obama was elected. the justice department subsequently declined to provide "bloomberg" with a complete list of the hundreds of indictments on $1 billion in lawsuits. timely just in the last few days late on friday, the justice department, to its credit, came out and admitted that the numbers eric holder cited last year were just wrong. like really quite wrong. for example, remember how eric holder said the program had resulted in indictments and information against 530 defendants? that was really 107 defendants. or that it involved 73,000 homeowners. that was revised down to just over 17,000. and that $1 billion figure, that was really just $95 million. and, okay, it's a little embarrass to have gotten those numbers so wrong, but here's where the justice department crosses the line into full nice try guys territory. they apparently went back to the transcript posted online from eric holder's speech to swap in the newly revised numbers, thereby rewriting history as if eric holder had gotten the numbers r
